Recently an interesting buzz spread in Tollywood circles that Malayalam actor and director Basil Joseph met Allu Arjun and narrated a story, and it was the story of Shaktimaan. But the latest news is that Basil Joseph is not directing Shaktimaan with Allu Arjun.
The Shaktimaan project was planned with Ranveer Singh long ago. Basi, who recently impressed everyone with his performance in Ponman, is said to have informed his close circles that there is no truth in Allu Arjun acting in his film.
The actor-director stated that the superhero film will happen only with Ranveer Singh, and it’s currently in development. So, Basil Joseph is not directing Shaktimaan with Allu Arjun, and this should put an end to the rumors.
Basil and Ranveer Singh’s superhero movie adapts the famous 1997 Doordarshan series featuring Mukesh Khanna as Shaktimaan. The film’s production details and additional casting information have not been officially announced yet.
Meanwhile, Ranveer awaits Dhurandhar’s release. The movie features R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal, and it’s a one-of-a-kind spy thriller inspired by true events from Ajit Doval’s time as India’s National Security Advisor. The director for this is Aditya Dhar.
